JACKSON, MI — Northwest High School students gave back to their school in a big way last week, putting in an estimated 1,500 hours of labor on various projects for Spring Service Day.

The students' activity on the afternoon of Friday, April 26, was organized in conjunction with National Volunteer Week. Across the country, students and adults were encouraged to give back to their communities.

Northwest High students chose from 30 projects that included cleaning up outside the school, tidying up classrooms, reading to younger students at Parnall Elementary and making crafts that were donated to others.
